Further, agencies like NOAA that make a fortune from global warming hysteria have been systematically altering past temperature records at land-based stations. The temperatures that you see reported today for past decades, like the 1930s, are not what was recorded at the time. Instead, the reporting agencies “adjust” those temperatures downward to make it look as though the past was cooler. This, of course, makes the present look warmer by comparison. Satellite temperature records have not been tinkered with in this way, and therefore are more reliable.

Global climate has been changing for millions of years, and it will continue changing, for reasons that have nothing to do with human activity, until the Earth ceases to exist. The climate might well get warmer in years to come; currently, the Earth is cooler than it has been the vast majority of the time since the end of the last Ice Age. But for what it’s worth, the claim that the Earth is currently experiencing a rapid increase in temperature is simply false.

Prior to 1955, 100ºF temperatures were common in Ohio. They are very rare now, with none recorded in 2013. Ninety-seven percent of all Ohio 100ºF readings occurred with CO2 below 350 PPM. The five hottest summers in Ohio were 1936, 1934, 1930, 1980 and 1918.
